Each traveller will have a cot with mattress pad to sleep on. The camp cook will prepare meals for you during each camping day. Your drive today will include good opportunities to see your first wildlife of the journey! Meals: Dinner.

August 14You will get to see a lot of wildlife in Moremi Game Reserve today, as you will have both a morning and then an evening game drive. During the middle of the day, animals take a break from grazing and are difficult to spot, which means it’s the perfect time for you to have a break back at the camp site. Use the time to relax, unwind, and enjoy lunch. Camping overnight in Moremi. Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

August 15There will be a short morning game drive after breakfast, time permitting. Then, you will Depart from Moremi Game Reserve and go to Savuti Park, known for its hillier geography and large concentration of elephants and predators. You’ll likely see wildlife along the way.

August 18Enjoy a lovely morning game drive in Chobe, then head back to the camp site for lunch and relaxation.

You will also have a chance to stop in the town of Kasane to pick up a few grocery items, if desired. Camping overnight in Chobe. Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
